Yun Liu left the Liang Mansion feeling smug and lay on the sofa once she returned to the company. Tan Ning walked over with a serious expression and

spoke before Yun Liu could boast, “Something happened to the Gu family.”

“Something happened to the Gu family?” Yun Liu repeated, surprised. “What happened?”

Tan Ning lowered her voice and said, “I’ve received inside information that the

Gu family spent a lot of money to silence a trending topic.”

Yun Liu sighed in relief. “Is that all? Isn’t that normal? And here I thought it was something big.”

Tan Ning shook her head. “No, this is definitely not anything ordinary. You should go back and find out more.”

However, Yun Liu was unwilling to do so. “Why should I get myself involved? Shouldn’t I stay away if something has happened? I have my reputation to think about. They’re not worth my time.”

“No, you have to go!” Tan Ning analyzed the pros and cons for Yun Liu. “It’s precisely because of your reputation that nothing can happen to the Gu family now! We have to be cautious now! Although many people are currently doubting you, and even the Gu family doesn’t take you seriously, you’ll definitely be affected if there’s truly some scandal in the Gu family! Do you understand?”

“Argh, annoying! This is so annoying!” Yun Liu angrily ranted, thinking, ‘Its true what they say, “Heavy is the head that wears the crown!” I must bear the

Gu familVs responsibilities since I wish to borrow their power. There’s no way around that.’

Seeing that Yun Liu had realized this and changed her attitude, Tan Ning asked, “How was your trip to the Liangs’ place today?”

Good mood ruined, Yun Liu glumly replied, “I gave the proposal to Liang Han and managed to attract his attention.” She paused and sighed, “He wasn’t the friendliest, but he wasn’t unkind. I feel like he’s keeping me at arms’ length, probably because of that b*tch, Yun Nan. He’s good friends with Shi Nian, so who knows what Yun Nan is saying about me behind my back?” Yun Liu gritted her teeth when she mentioned Yun Nan.

Tan Ning remarked, “It’s fine so long as Liang Han is willing to accept your proposal. He’s a businessman, and all businessmen want to make money. No businessman can be unmoved by bright prospects and huge benefits. We just have to set the hook and slowly reel him in. You must put your focus on Liang Han; that’s more reason the Gu family can’t have any negative news.”

Yun Liu felt annoyed and vented her anger on the sofa cushion. “What’s going on with the Gu family? Isn’t it just Xi Cheng’s fiancée come knocking on their door because that b*tch, Gu Man, tried to seduce Xi Cheng?” After she finished, Yun Liu momentarily froze as she recalled Lin Yu’s show of goodwill.

Tan Ning was shocked. “Gu Man tried to seduce Xi Cheng? Didn’t you say that she’s interested in Shi Nian?”

Yun Liu shrugged. “She’s a fickle woman. The Gu family’s girls were raised and taught to aim for marriage with wealthy young heirs or sons of government officials, so it doesn’t make much difference to Gu Man whether it’s Shi Nian or Xi Cheng. She even told the other Gu family girls that Xi Cheng and Shi Nian are both off-limits, meaning she’ll be the one to bag the two men! Hmph! What a sl*t! Let’s see if she’ll have the nerve to show her face in the future now that she got taught a lesson by Xi Cheng’s legitimate fiancée!”

“Then, won’t she switch sights to Shi Nian?” Tan Ning wondered.

“Someone like her will never manage it,” Yun Liu sneered. “I won’t allow any of them to have designs on Shi Nian! Oh, right, do keep an eye on Yun Nan. That woman sure is tenacious, hmph!”

Tan Ning knew the priorities and agreed.

Yun Liu returned to the Gu family residence on crutches and went to see her mother, Zheng Xiu.

“What happened to you?” Zheng Xiu asked when she saw her state. Yun Liu briefly explained how she got injured, and Zheng Xiu’s eyes lit up. ‘You went to the Liangs’ place?”

Yun Liu nonchalantly nodded her head. “Did Madam Liang specifically invite you?” Zheng Xiu pressed. “Did you meet the Liang family’s young master?”

Zheng Xiu chided, “Oh, you silly child! Why did you waste your chance and make the blind date into a work meeting? But I guess it’s not a bad thing. This way, Young Master Liang is bound to have a deep impression of you. You did great, sweetheart!”

Yun Liu’s heart warmed at Zheng Xiu’s praise. “Mom, is there anything going on at home these past couple of days?” Yun Liu inquired.

“No, there isn’t,” Zheng Xiu replied.

Half-relieved, Yun Liu asked, “What about Uncle’s side?”

Hearing Yun Liu’s question, Zheng Xiu couldn’t help but worry and treat it more seriously. She frowned and said, “Now that you mentioned it, your aunt didn’t call me over today.. That woman usually likes to put on airs and enjoys having us around to flatter her ego, so why hasn’t she called me over for dinner today?”
